Seems to me that she got away with a lot and when she finally was spanked, she took her ball and went home...

But, that's just my view of what happened... I'm sure there will be those who disagree...
I watched her for a long time and came to the conclusion she was a control freak; she was also very talented with passive aggressive communication. She could sweet talk you to death and cut you up the back at the same time.

In the old and early days we had some talented posters with obvious intellect and from time to time I would enjoy joining a thread. She hounded me for a long time and that is when I learned how to block.

There are some long time members of this forum still left around and their opinion was much like mine.

The last time we heard about her I think she was big on Facebook. I am quite sure she is, or will, read this before this day is over. I can almost feel the knife between my shoulder blades right now.

Many of the really valuable contributors have passed away like Carl in Tampa, ZCaveman, Donna....

We have one poster who is the niece of Mel Brooks but she seems very put off by Hollywood.

I have met her in person a few times at various locations.

We also had quite a few older members of the forum who moved to other residential communities. .

I disagree with the pattern of trying to embarrass newer posters who ask questions.

First of all, not everybody automatically knows how to do a search on here, and even if they do, the information to be found could be incomplete or quite dated. And sometimes people just want opinions or want to add further information to their own thinking.

Besides, a search can be time-consuming.

There is nothing wrong with asking questions. There are lots of newer posters and those posters might have questions — or answers. And some of us who have been around here forever might not mind answering — even if we already did — hundreds of years ago.

There is a definite pattern to the “go-look-it-up” responses. I find such posts to be rude in tone, coming off like high school kids saying, “We are sitting at the cool kids’ table and you’re not.” It’s an old routine.

As far as silly threads go, so what. I always wonder if posters who criticize the silly threads try to direct allll the different conversations when attending a big social gathering. Do they run around from group to group to make sure they approve of every conversation?

Somebody called her passive aggressive a year or two ago. Post was actually spot on, but they got banned.
I think a lot of her clique stopped coming to her defense, and I'm sure that ate at her.

So guessing just doing a drive by of all the threads, to see what the hot thread. Or to see if her name pops up and if there are fond memories to read
. **OR** possibly posting under an ALT ?

"Last Activity: 01-18-2023 11:33 AM"

Hardly "multiple times a week"...

But as another poster said, who knows if she has an alias. Seems like many posters do...

When I was new here and posted anything that threw some shade at the "family" I was always reminded by a certain poster that this is paradise and that the developer can do wrong.
